Mixed Vegetable Rice-Vermicelli Recipe

Am in Belgium with my bro and mum now and its been an awesome week with a combo of mom-cooked food and authentic European cuisine.. everything from my amma's best morkozhambu to waffles and crepes! All my diet plans (as always) have been put off for the time being :D This recipe is from my mom's kitchen here at Brussels with the limited Indian ingredients she gets and how she turns em into a fusion Indian cuisine of her own. I loved this rice vermicelli she made, like a vegetable sevai but only it wasnt exactly indian rice noodles (idiappam) types neither was it semiya types, it was more like an angel hair pasta made into an Indian-Italian fusion recipe..really simple, yummy and different...
